Portland Sharps Disposal Services 

Have you ever thought about what your area of the Pacific Northwest would be like if there were no sharps disposal services in Portland? Metro Portland, Multnomah County and the state of Oregon all know how the improper handling of discarded needles and other sharps are dangerous to waste workers, the environment, and the public. Oregon has progressive programs for sharps collection points statewide, and it’s illegal to dispose of sharps in household trash. 

Safety for Businesses and Healthcare Facilities 

Businesses and healthcare facilities need in-house safety policies and sharps collection procedures that will safeguard your employees and patrons. Needles that are improperly discarded can expose waste workers (and your staff) to needle stick injuries and possible infection. Janitors, nurses, housekeepers, and other staff can be injured if loose sharps poke through plastic trash bags. Used needles carelessly discarded can transmit serious diseases. 

Medical Waste Pros Portland can help you find a reputable and affordable local provider that can supply sharps containers and mail-back systems to safely dispose of your used needles and other sharps.  These local providers can also schedule regular pickups to keep you compliant with medical waste disposal laws. Don’t delay. Give us a call at (503) 894-5143 so that we can help you safely dispose of your sharps.

Official disposal containers are leak-proof and made of a puncture-resistant plastic and puncture-resistant lid that can be handled without concern or risk of exposure. If an FDA-cleared container is not available a heavy-duty plastic household container, such as a laundry detergent container can be used as an alternative. Never place any loose Sharps in any trashcan or recycling bin- and never flush Sharps down the toilet. If disposed of improperly, others are put in harm’s way. Medical Waste Pros helps businesses of all sizes as well as homes find safe sharps disposal services that are right for their exact needs.
